Reims - Strasbourg predictions

Though Reims definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Strasbourg are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

If everything goes according to plan and Strasbourg put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Reims’s latest Ligue 1 match resulted in a major upset and great success for them – a 3:1 win. Playing in front of their fans at Stade Auguste-Delaune II, they took the initiative in the early game and went on to deliver a crushing defeat against Olympique Marseille , who were considered strong favourites at kick-off.

Strasbourg are coming off of an excellent 4:2 home win at their last showdown against Olympique Lyonnais. The matchup was not in Strasbourg’s favour, yet they managed to pull far ahead of their opponents in the second half.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Strasbourg have netted 7 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Hopes of a top-half finish are slowly fading away for Reims. They are currently in 15th place in the Ligue 1 standings. Much closer to the relegation zone than to top-half places, the hosts will need to roll up their sleeves in the closing stages of the season.

If Strasbourg plan to hop onto the European bandwagon now would the optimal time to earn vital points. As the season heads into the final stretch, the visitors have a tough nut to crack in Stade Auguste-Delaune II. They are not without chances, however, and we are surely in for an exciting match this Sunday.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Ligue 1. Strasbourg were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.20 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Mohammed Daramy, Gabriel Silva Moscardo de Salles, Nhoa Sangui are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Mouhamadou Diarra, Dion Moise Sahi, Guemissongui Ouattara, Andrew Omobamidele will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Strasbourg, though.

This match is a bit tough to find value in, so you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. An HT/FT Draw/Away bet at odds of 3.45 is not exactly probable, but it’s clearly the best offer in terms of value.
